I am wondering if the sum
$$S=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k(3k-1)}$$
has an exact expression. And when I plugged it into Wolfram Alpha it spitted out:
$$S=\frac{1}{6}\Big(-\sqrt{3} π + 9 \ln(3)\Big)$$
I am wondering how is the answer obtained? Is there a simple way of not using math beyond second year university to arrive to that answer?

I use Euclidean Algorithm: 4620 = 101 * 45 + 75. long story short. I get 3 = 2 * 1 + 1. After that 2 = 1 * 2 + 0. gcd(101,4620) = 1. So I us...
